I think that's a fair concern. As it is, players get pulled when they're messing up such as turning over the ball, not being active on defense, not boxing out/rebounding, etc... the difference is those issues are often effort based. Problem here is with 8 guys being unable to shoot yourself out of a drought, effort is not the concern. At that point, bring in somebody with a clear state of mind. I don't think it would affect guys any different than being made to sit for those effort reasons. Thoughts?
In that moment, yes, you're sucking. And our slumps are not outliers that stand out. They're frequent, often every game, and sometimes multiple times a game. Look, I'm not mad at the players or coaching staff. I couldn't be. We are 18-6. But there are clearly offensive flaws that jump off the screen at times. Those issues are generally attributed to individual players not hitting shots/choosing not to be aggressive. It needs to be fixed if we want to be an NCAA Tournament team. I'm not sure how any of this is debatable as its all fact based.
I was curious if any of our seniors had any eligibility left after this year. It appears that out of Floyd, Wright, Jossell, Massie, Sissoko and Walker, that Walker, Wright, Jossell and Sissoko are in the fifth year while Floyd and Massie are in the fourth. Is there any chance of Floyd and Massie returning for one more year?
